Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Kurt vise. You have just purchased one of
the best machine vises in the industry. Our new MX350 MaxLock 5-axis
vise is a welcomed product in our industry. The outstanding accuracy
of this product is second to none. Backed by a IRONCLAD lifetime
warranty, this product will last a lifetime when used and maintained
properly.
The original Kurt Anglock vises are designed for precision clamping.
The new 5-axis vise incorporates that time tested theory and give the
precision you need the in the area you need it. Having the clamping
screw directly below your work we can achieve maximum clamping
force and provide up to .0005 in clamping repeatability. It offers ultra-
high precision through many important features.
Features include:
1. A maximum of 40ft.lbs of torque providing up to 7000 lbs. of
clamping force.
2. .625 inches of stroke.
3. Pull type design to decreases stationary jaw deflection.
4. Main screw is simple to machine and is 100% replaceable by the
customer.
5. Flexibility in mounting using auxiliary clamping slots provided on
the sides of the vise.
6. Fully machinable jaws for greater accuracy eliminating the need for
parallels.
The patented Anglock design allows the movable jaw to advance in
such a way that each pound of force forward induces a ½ pound force
downward which minimizes the jaw lift and increases accuracy. This
combined with the needle bearings increases jaw clamping pressure.
